00:00 Hello everyone. I have always been convinced that those who are more fortunate have the moral responsibility to do good.
00:08 These are the values that have always pushed me and my family and this is what we teach our children.
00:14 We also teach them that you can make mistakes and that when it happens you have to admit it and, if possible, remedy the mistake and make it up.
00:24 This is what I want to do now, apologize and give concreteness to this gesture.
00:31 I will give back 1 million euros to Regina Margherita to support the children's care, but that's not enough.
00:38 I want to do it publicly because I realized that I made a communication error,
00:43 an error that I will treasure in the future, completely separating any charity activity that I have always done and that I will continue to do from commercial activities.
00:54 Because even if the end is good, if there has not been enough control over communication, misunderstandings can arise.
01:01 As I said in the past few days, I will impose the GCM procedure because I find it disproportionately unfair.
01:10 My mistake, in good faith, was to link a commercial activity with a solidarity one.
01:18 Unfortunately, you can make mistakes, I'm sorry I did it and I realize that I could have watched better.
01:25 But if the fine should be, as I hope, lower than the one decided by the GCM, the difference will be reached to 1 million euros.
01:33 In the next few days I will speak with Regina Margherita to understand how the hospital will use her donation and I will periodically tell you the updates.
01:42 My mistake remains, but I want to make sure that from this mistake something constructive and positive is generated.
01:49 Thank you very much.
